Product Features

Crystal Clear Video & Super Night Vision

Equipped with a 6-layer HD lens and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, the dashcam delivers crystal-clear video and image quality in various lighting conditions, day or night. Four infrared (IR) LEDs enable clear recording even in a dark car interior.

24-hour Parking Monitoring & Motion Detection

The dashcam monitors your vehicle 24/7 when parked. If an impact or motion is detected, the camera automatically begins video recording. This feature is highly useful for documenting incidents like vandalism. For continuous parking monitoring, the camera must be hardwired to the fuse box (hardwiring kit not included).

Automatic Storage, G-sensor & Loop Recording

In the event of a car accident or collision, the built-in G-sensor automatically detects the impact and locks the current video file, saving it as evidence that cannot be overwritten by loop recording. Unlocked data is automatically deleted to ensure continuous recording space.

The dashcam offers a wide viewing angle of 170° for the front camera and 140° for the interior camera, providing a comprehensive view of the road ahead and the entire inside of your car.
